These 16 stories will give you good reason to elope.
It’s meant to be the most special day of your life. Days, weeks, months even years of your time goes into the planning of your wedding. But even the best laid plans can fail.
And in these 16 cases? Fail they definitely did.
From the venue burning down three days before the ceremony to the groom ending up in hospital. You couldn’t possibly find more horrifying (and in some cases very sad) wedding stories.
So if you’re about to get married, maybe look away now. These stories of how people had their special day ruined will not instill confidence in your upcoming nuptials.
1. I got hypothermia during the outdoor photography and missed the reception because I was in the hospital with my brand new wife, who was still in her wedding dress.
2. My Mum’s best friend (and maid of honour) showed up the day of my Mum’s first wedding with her head shaved. Apparently she was in love with the groom and this was her silent protest. The marriage only lasted 2 years and the groom eventually married the maid of honour.
3. A coworker of my husband's (whom he had known for a week) accused him of sexually assaulting her a MONTH TO THE DAY before my wedding. After my wedding was cancelled by my family, thousands down the drain in wedding prep and lawyer bills, and trust issues arising between my now-husband and I (who had to settle for a court house wedding), she confessed to being in love with my husband and had to stop him from making a mistake. I've never wished so much pain on a person before.
4. Not a personal experience, but Dad played in a band at a wedding where the bride's uncle dropped dead in her arms on the dance floor. Talk about bringing the party to a halt.
